NORTHAMPTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS NORTHAMPTON, PENNSYLVANIA Office of the Superintendent To the Class of 1943: Yours is the lot of graduating into a world at war. The plans of most of you for the future will have to be adjusted in line with the war tempo. While this hostility will be disappointing, it should by no means disillusion or embitter you. Men and women have ever had to struggle to gain freedom and the present generation is no exception. It is hoped that the present struggle for freedom will end quickly and that men and women may live in peace in a free world. Yours will be the job of reconstruction, of helping to eradicate hate, inequality, and injustice — the great challenge facing your generation. To this end you should work. It is our hope that the training you received in high school will help you to play your part well. Sincerely, Superintendent George A. Eichler Ed. D.

Because of the rumblings of war we are working with renewed effort at our chosen and assigned tasks. This challenge to us is the cause for more energetic study, for added interest in elective work, and for the superior work done by our class. T he morale is good for I believe that our class is ready, both mentally aud physically, for any type of work or task that may fall our way. We accept the challenge that confronts us, with the confidence that we are equal to the task and able to bear the burden or work unflinchingly and come through victorious: This bears out our class motto: “One step at a time, but always forward —Charles Bennftt Cl ass Poem To thee, our Alma Mater, We pledge a sacred vow To always honor and respect The school we’re leaving now. We are prepared for battle Against the world’s great care. We’ll ever glory in thy name. Uphold thee everywhere. We prize thy worthwhile teachings: They are our surest guide. Although we have to leave thee, In our hearts you will abide. You are our firm foundation Upon which our tasks are built. We’re capable and sturdy-Directed, guided, schooled to the hilt. Soon we’ll enter greater fields Which require unlimited work. Whatever be our destiny Our duties we will not shirk. We’ll never, never forsake thee Or bring to thee disgrace. There is no other high school That will ever take thy place. As onward through the coming years We’ll recall our days with thee, What a precious book of memory! Our Alma Mater, we thank thee. —Margaret Frace Class Song To You Northampton High Though the days may go by And our school days draw nigh, There will e’er remain in our heart The memories of years Filled with laughters and tears, Will go on even though we’re apart. You have guided our life Through the perils and strifes That may capture us in the fray; Yet you’ve carried us through And your aim has been true Giving faith to go along iife’s way. Even though we did have faults, You have brought them to a halt, And have given to us life anew, And though pleasures must end With nary amend Our memories give honor to you. —Aaron Minnich Class Will To the Underclassmen: Richard Gross’s Romeo tactics to Walter Potrako.

To the school program we have contributed not only skilled musicians in vocal and instrumental fields but also thespians and athletes. Great enthusiasm prevailed as the time drew near for the high light of our junior year— the annual speaking contest. To prepare ourselves for our senior year was not an easy task. With ambition as a driving force, we worked diligently to attain the required star dards. If we use our initiative, we can with the aid of the faculty, equal, if not exceed, the achievements of our present upper classmen. —Stephfn Kowalchuk ass OFFICERS Stephen Kowalchuk, President John Lynn, Secretary Anna Jane Schisler, Vice-President Robert Beck, Treasurer CLASS ROLL Anderson, Charlotte Bahniuk.

This sophomore class must accept an entirely different viewpoint of the years to come. Our country is at war. Not only is it our brother’s war, but it is ours, too. Thus we begin our high school career rot only seeking an education for ourselves but also a training to prepare ourselves if we are called on to serve our country. Of course this will not be an excuse for anyone to count his schooldays as an important prelude to an unsettled future, but rather the opposite; it means we must work harder. We must not merely “attempt” to surpass the sophomore record; we must “break” it. At present it is our duty to cooperate in every way with the teachers that are in the high school for our benefit. Many will consider these years more difficult than any they have ever faced before. Naturally we are growing older and can expect the problems of life to increase. They can be met if we face them and put forth a whole-hearted effort to overcome them. —James Smith cmcie Class OFFICERS James Smith, President David Beltz, Vice-President Sherwood Fyler, Secretary
